THE FIRST “LITTLE EVA”

A New York correspondent reports the death, in her ninety-fourth year, of the first of the myriads of actresses to play Little Eva in “Uncle Tom's Cabin.” She was Mrs Cordelia Howard MacDonald, who appeared in the original production at the Trox in New York in 1852. 7 Mrs MacDonald was only four years old when she made her debut in a dramatisation of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s story. The emphasis in this production was on Little Eva instead of Uncle Tom. and she made an instant hit.

She continued in the part for eight years, and then, at the age oi 12. having accumulated a fortune for her family, retired for ever from the stage.
